well, I thought of removing it cause it's kinda silly and just for fun. It ranks you on how much of a geek it thinks you are. It's based on many things ... a few are :

- how does your level compare to others, higher the geekier
- how often do you post in the forums.... geeks post more
- do you have a profile picture set?
- do you have anything in your "about me" in your profile
- etc

1.) It first looks at your BTGTD rating. It looks at how many players have a higher rating than you and then does some math. Below is the formula... I turned it into psudocode... hopefully it makes sense.

I know it's a tad confusing, but here is an example. If you are anonemouse, there is no players with a higher rating, so :
meterPercent = ((100-0) / 100)*.5
meterpercent = ((100/100)*.5
meterPercent = 1*.5
meterPercent = .5

Note that your BTGTD rating makes up 50% of the geek meter bar... so anonemouse earned the maximum.

Using anonemouse as an example (hope you don't mind :) we can see from his profile page he has befriended 18 people. So :

meterPercent = (18/100)*.2
meterPercent = 0.036

So anonemouse received 3.6% of the maximum 20% for this category.

Next we look at the players "about me" information. This category makes up 5% of the geek meter. If they have anything entered in this field, they get the full 5%... if they have nothing entered, they get 0%

Next we look at the players "user location" information. This category makes up 5% of the geek meter. If they have chosen any location (accurate or not), they get the full 5%... if they have nothing entered, they get 0%

Next we look at the players profile picture. This category makes up 5% of the geek meter. If they have uploaded a picture, they get the full 5%... if they have no picture uploaded, they get 0%

last but not least, we look at how many geek points they have saved up. This category is worth 10%. A perfect score is anything over a whopping 10,000 geek points. Here is the formula used :
